| 71:36 | 1998-06-26 | Rice Lake N.W.R. | Aitkin | (record #98–72, vote 2–5). The overall description is suggestive of this species, since it includes mention of a phoebe-like bird with orangish color on the underparts. However, the possibilities of juvenile Eastern Phoebe or Eastern Bluebird were apparently not considered, and the light conditions at the time of the identification are unclear. Also, the bird is described as having “one white wing bar and several bold white vertical stripes on upper tail coverts,” and neither of these features is found on the Say's Phoebe. | Not Accepted | ||||

| 76:152 | 2004-05-04 | Walter Township | Lac qui Parle | (record #2004-062, vote 3–4). Though quite possibly a Say's Phoebe, similar-looking species were neither considered nor eliminated, and the observer's experience was unstated. | Not Accepted | ||||

| 77:9 | 2004-08-04 | Florida Township | Yellow Medicine | (recirculated record #2004-086, first vote 4–3, second vote 3–4). This bird was described as showing a “rosy” or “rosy-peach” belly and undertail coverts, and “pale gray” wing linings, which are not typical for this species and suggest the possibility of Vermilion Flycatcher. The observer's experience with this species and the light conditions were not mentioned — the latter an important consideration, since identification relied largely on coloration of the underparts. | Not Accepted | ||||

| 80:115 | 2008-04-09 | Sauk Rapids | Benton | (record #2008-013, vote 2–5). Field notes were not taken and although the bird was reportedly seen from a distance of only ten feet for four or five minutes, the brief description omitted key features of this species, including head and throat color, and contrast between the black tail and upperparts. | Not Accepted | ||||

This location is roughly a mile south-southeast of where Say's Phoebe (record #2013-013) was seen ten days earlier, raising the possibility that this may have been the same bird. | Accepted | |||
